Will the European curse continue for the hosts?
The Bosnian champions are regulars in the qualifiers for European competitions, but their many appearances in recent years have only been crowned with success once, when the hosts reached the group stage of the Conference League in 2023. Now they are making their next attempt in the final playoff round of the Europa League, but their opponents from the Netherlands can be considered moderate favorites.
What is the best bet for Zrinjski Mostar against Utrecht? The visitors have a better squad and, in Victor Jensen, they have a particularly strong striker. The Dane has scored in four of his last six competitive games at national and international level.
We are therefore opting for an away win in our Zrinjski Mostar vs. Utrecht prediction, not least because of the Scandinavian goal-getter’s strong form.
Zrinjski Mostar – Utrecht Head-to-head record / H2H record
The teams have already faced each other once in 2019 in the Europa League qualifiers. Back then, the Bosnians prevailed after a draw in the first leg at home and a narrow win in the away leg. For the next edition of Zrinjski Mostar vs. Utrecht, however, the odds favor the visitors.

Zrinjski Mostar – Utrecht Tip
Mostar will go into the match with shaky legs. The reason is that the Bosnians have almost always failed to qualify in recent years, and these failures will be on the minds of the Zrinjski players. Another factor against the home side, who have already played six European qualifying matches this season since the beginning of July, is that their opponents are currently in good form and generally have a stronger squad.
The Dutch side’s offense in particular is in strong form. In the last two rounds of Europa League qualifying against Tiraspol and Servette Geneva, the FC attack struck no fewer than a dozen times!
Last but not least, the Dutch side still has a score to settle with their opponents after being knocked out of the Europa League qualifiers six years ago, which will further strengthen their motivation. Taking all of the above into account, we are going for an away win in the match between Zrinjski Mostar and Utrecht.
